We have pushed out an update to our antivirus software, Sophos. Some of you will be prompted to take action through a pop-up window on the top right of your computer. Here is a walkthrough of what to do:
- Click button in the Sophos popup window
- In Endpoint Self Help select the category "Prerequisites" with the red exclamation mark next to it, and then click the button "Allow full disk access" to bring up the dialog box.
- Click on the blue link 'Open "Privacy & Security" preferences' and your System Preferences will open - make sure to click on Full Disk Access (if that is not already showing).
- Arrange your window so you can see both the Sophos window above and your Privacy & Security window. Click on the blue S icon (in the Sophos window) and DRAG it onto the Privacy & Security window.
- You will be prompted to enter your password (or fingerprint) and then a prompt to Quit & Reopen (click yes to that).
- You have successfully updated Sophos! Thank you for keeping us safe!
